Hurricane sandy rolled in to my neighborhood at about noon on monday, it officially started for me when the power went out at 4 o clock. This proceded by a collective moan by my whole family. After that, my father called us all down to play Scrabble, as me and my siblings lackadaisically came down the stairs talking about how much power our phones, computers, and ipods had left. We played Scrabble while talking the whole time about how everyone else still had power and how typical it was that our family still doesn’t have power. At about 6 and we started to finnish the game. My brother Ian pointed out that our cousins, the Settons, three blocks away will have power throughout the storm because the had a generator. My mom suggested that we should go to the Settons for an hour to enjoy electricity before storm really starts. My father urged that we shouldn’t leave now being that it would be impossible to come back in an hour, but the rest of my family and I were confident that nothing would go wrong. My mom, sister, brother and I got in the car and started driving. We were a block away from my cousins a huge gust of wind blew down a large branch fell in front of the car. As soon as we stopped in front of the car, the rest of the huge tree fell on the hood of our car, shattering the windshield and destroying the roof. I looked around as no one seemed to be hurt so i quickly rushed my brother and I out of the car, ran out of as quickly as possible, trying to find and area with no trees above our heads. We then waited for my mom and sister, who were sitting in the front, to get out of the car. Those were the longest 30 seconds of my life positive that they could of climbed to the back of the car and came out the door me and my brother came out of. I feared that maybe they were injured and I didn’t notice. Contemplating running back my mom and sister finally got out. We gathered with hugs and quickly ran back to our house scared shittless.
